Chinese missiles form mysterious fireballs in the sky of America

A glowing fireball flew through the California state night on the night of July 27, causing a fever on social networks, finally identified.

Many witnesses saw a long trail of light rushing very fast in the night sky. Many hypotheses are in place, from comets to other planets entering the Earth.

According to the New York Post, on July 28, the US Strategic Command confirmed that it was the remnant of a Chinese CZ-7 missile , falling back into the atmosphere of the American Sky at about 11:36 am. local.

Images and videos of that light instantly flooded the social network. Many people in California, Nevada, Utah have seen and recorded this image.

Even when it is confirmed that it is a Chinese missile remnant, many people are still worried.

This long light trail is actually a Chinese rocket that ignites when it returns to Earth.

The spokesman of the US Strategic Command Julie Ziegenhorn did not say whether the missile would endanger people, but said the agency often saw missiles fly back.

The Los Angeles Times quoted Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachussetts, saying Chinese missiles were launched on June 25.

It returned to the atmosphere about a month in low orbit and could have flown at 30,000km / h.

"Big things go into the atmosphere in an uncontrollable way perhaps once per month," McDowell said, but then he corrected that perhaps once a year.

China, when launching the missile, declared it a new generation missile, marking the turning point in their space program, keeping the plan to bring their second space station into orbit this year.
